A blog mainly about odd German 45 rpm records. New records every Thursday.

This type of music and humour mostly appealed to more conservative-minded people. Old people. That was the Travellers´audience. Old people didn´t like Hippies but unlike Freddy Quinn who wrote and recorded one of the most aggressive German Anti-Hippie songs, the Travellers Romeo & Julia strikes a much more sympathetic tone. These old guys kinda liked Hippies.

Strangely the chorus Wir (We) is the same in both songs, but they are different songs. Which came first I don´t know.

About me:
My name is Andreas Michalke. I´m a cartoonist from Berlin, Germany and I like collecting records. Most of the records I find in thrift stores or at flea markets here in Berlin. I like a lot of music but I thought I`d focus on odd German records. Preferably with cartoon covers.
All my scans are high-resolution. If you double-click on them they will get much bigger.

1. I will not use material, that is already available in digital format elsewhere.

2.The artists I present are either anonymous or pseudonymous or dead or no longer active.

3. I feel that if nobody has cared to reissue a record in 50 years, it is fair to present it.

Note: Please don´t ask for re-ups. I don´t have time for that. What´s gone is gone.
